Two Nicotiana plumbaginifolia cDNA clones, NeIF-5A1 and NeIF-5A2, encoding eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF-5A (formerly called eIF-4D) were cloned by heterologous screening with Dictyostelium and human eIF-5A probes. eIF-5A is the only protein known to contain a unique amino acid modification, hypusine. Comparison of the Nicotiana deduced amino acid sequences with those of other eIF-5A polypeptides reveals conservation throughout the coding sequence, especially in the region of the hypusine residue. Transcript analysis reveals that NeIF-5A1 is preferentially expressed in photosynthetic tissues, while NeIF-5A2 is constitutively expressed in all plant tissues examined. A polyclonal antibody was raised against NeIF-5A1 overexpressed in E. coli. NeIF-5A1 antiserum crossreacts with an 18 kDa polypeptide doublet in all tobacco tissues examined. At least one polypeptide of ca. 18 kDa from a diversity of higher and lower plants crossreacts with NeIF-5A1 antiserum.
